4. A funny story while being here

One evening, early on, I walked down the wrong corridor. When I opened the door to what I believed to be my apartment, I was shocked to see that the carpet had changed color. I pretty quickly realized my mistake, quietly backed out, returned to the central  area and tried again. (Betty’s story)
